Riverside Bar & Eatery in Herefordshire, County of

Lovely place, staff very helpful, not a lot of choice on the menu

Unbelievable experience, food is so good. Everyone is very friendly and you are made to feel welcome. Helen is so nice and runs the place so well. I will be back

Staying at Lucksall for first time and had a lovely waitress called Helen very kindly fit us in for the roast on Sunday, nice staff, lovely food and very tasty desserts too. Glass of Jack Rabbit Malbec with the beef, delicious too. Visited again the next evening with 2 friends and again very nice meals, we had garlic mushrooms to share, yummy, a curry, steak, gammon and ham dishes, followed by desserts, all delicious. Henry our waiter was being trained and we were teasing him and he was brilliant, lovely genuine young man, he looked after us very well and will be an asset. Thanks guys will return.

Staying here for the first time, we called on arrival to book for the Sunday roast, Helen very kindly squeezed us in and our little dog. Lovely waitress, lovely roast dinner served on hot plates and food all nice and hot. Lovely glass of Jack Rabbit Malbec with the beef absolutely delicious. Great service from attentive staff. Highly recommend. Visited following evening with friends and same attentive service from Helen who was training Henry our waiter for the evening, he was lovely and looked after us very well and didn’t mind being teased, a credit to Helen and the restaurant. We ate garlic mushroom starter between 4 delicious, followed by steak,curry, gammon and honey roast ham all delicious. Then apple slice and ice cream dessert. Very nice restaurant and will be back.

We booked Sunday lunch prior to leaving the site after a few nights stay, the staff could not be more friendly and accommodating. We were seated next to a local couple who had come back having called in for a cream tea earlier in the week, I think they will become regulars as it was so good. The Sunday roasts are delicious, plenty of meat & vegetables, cooked just right. The staff were very efficient and attentive but not overly so. A bonus is they are very dog friendly, whereas a lot of places dogs are ok in the bar area but not where you are properly seated to eat. Highly recommended but note you do need to book and give your food choice ahead of arrival, they did check we were still happy with our choice when they seated us (we had the beef). We are looking forward to returning and trying other dishes from the menu now.

My partner and I visited the riverside eatery at Lucksall caravan park on Sunday as we wanted a sandwich or a lite bite for lunch. Upon arrival, a member of staff kindly opened the barrier for us, letting us into the car park, after my partner had asked if we were ok to have some lunch, to which she replied ‘yes’. We have entered the restaurant and waited by the sign, to be seated. There was one female member of staff who was delivering something to another table, looked at us but did not greet us. This lady eventually came to us and we asked if we could have a table for two please. The woman looked at us in a very unwelcoming way and asked if we had booked. I stated that we hadn’t booked and that I wasn’t aware that we needed to book (the restaurant wasn’t busy and I didn’t even think to as it was a caravan site restaurant). The woman then said, ‘well you do now’. She then walked away and came back with a piece of paper and just said, ‘I’ve got two beef’. I stated that we were looking to have a sandwich and the woman practically laughed at us and said, ‘it’s a Sunday, we’re only doing roasts’. I stated that this was not obvious on the website and she replied, ‘well I don’t have anything to do with the website’. I thanked the lady and said that we will be going elsewhere. In all honesty, I never leave negative reviews, but I felt compelled to after this awful interaction. I can’t comment on the standard of food as we barely got through the door, but this woman’s welcome was certainly not a pleasant one.

This was a great find!! Beautiful views across the river Wye - with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is not extensive - but - it is done well. The cod+chips was fantastic!!! The batter was really crispy and not greasy, and the chips..... crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And Helen looked after us really well - very friendly and chatty. A Monday lunchtime - very quiet.

A beautiful restuaranton the banks of the River Wye. Good food for.all.the family and that includes a great welcome or our dogs.

A good venue right next to the river Wye, hot food doesn't start til 4pm and last orders are usually about 7.30. portions are good, but on our last night, they were running out of food and desserts. Good range of drinks and beers and Helen behind the bar goes above and beyond to help. Apart from the no lunch availablity it's quite a good place, doggy friendly too.

Great little cafe and super location

Wow best full English breakfast around great Coffee and a lovely view of the river Wye as well !!!

Really nice staff, very helpful. You can eat inside and outside, food is good. Our friends said there burgers were good, one had the Thai curry which was OK. A few choice of drinks. Nice to have this on a site, saves you driving out.

Such a lovely place looking over river ..def highly recommended

Welcoming atmosphere, staff and great food. We booked a table for 13 of us and were made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious, chicken goujons, ham, egg and chips, Thai curry, scampi and chips and burgers were all a hit. The puddings were delicious and the drinks went down very well. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Fully booked, so could only have a drink.

Lovely people great food right alongside the river will definitely go back.

A small cafe/restaurant within the grounds of a caravan park on the banks of the River Wye. It's open to non residents/campers and serves a simple unfussy breakfast menu. Both inside and outside seating. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I would certainly return.

I rode my bike from Malvern to here and had a very good flapjack and tea. Extremely friendly staff and a nice riverside setting and nice clean loos. Very good !

Lovely lovely restaurant... Great food...especially the breakfast.... Helen is exceptional never stops working...you can tell she has very high standards and this is shown in the cleanliness and brilliant service that customers get.. The food is cooked to perfection and served piping hot and presented beautifully... And I've got to mention the Garden cocktail...delicious.... Hopefully will be back next year ...

Excellent service food good .Value for money .

El personal fue muy amable y la comida estaba rica y muy bien presentada. Es un lugar sencillo pero las vistas del río son muy bonitas.

The lady running the bar in the afternoon and evening on Sunday oct 17th was the most friendliest front of house we have met for a long time. She made us and the dog so welcome from just drinks in the afternoon to when we returned for a meal in the evening. Lovely food, average price from what we’ve experienced over last few month’s. Just hope the other staff are as friendly in the morning when I have to go against the one way system for me to get our van off the pitch.🫣 definitely coming back.

We stayed at the campsite over a weekend .wow what a fabulous little place .clean and the staff very friendly .great selection of beers and ciders and cold drinks too . They do great breakfast,lunch and dinner also great to grab a coffee and some homemade cake . I had cider battered cod which was bloody good ….so crispy and hot fresh too my other half had the chicken burger…we ended with a ice cream Sunday each again lovely .you can even get a takeaway from the restaurant too . Credit to the lovely staff the hard work pays off … It’s not open late into the night and it’s best to book when it’s high season .as I’m sure it gets very busy . There is a lovely outside area and I think dogs are allowed in some areas of the restaurant.

I was really looking forward to dine at this place. It was a beautiful evening and rang to see if I could book a table outside but with a sun parasol because we had too much sun and wanted to keep my toddler out of the sun! On arrival we were told to pick a seat because they hadn’t reserved which was fine. So there was only two tables with parasol and were told we couldn’t go at the side where it was more shaded etc. shame because I presumed that’s where our table would be booked for. Menus came and told we had to order in next few minutes and go inside. Ordered our food, High chair came, but wasn’t able to get it up to the table. So we had to move tables without a parasol and at this point was directly in the sun. I know to others not a big deal, but kinda wanted some shade by the nice riverside because had don much sun. Drinks order came which was wrong, but no problems easy rectified. Beer never had a head. Husbands input. So I ordered my 15 month old food from the childrens menu and when served it was given in a boiling hot plate and they had served it worth a towel saying it’s really hot. What am I going to do with a boiling hot plate for my baby! Honestly, I just thought how ridiculous! All the adults plates were normal. My babies plate was so hot and the food it was like it had been kept in the oven to keep warm whilst out food was cooking. This was very frustrating to me, whilst by no means do I want the food cold but not piping hot ! So my desperately hungry baby had to wait whilst seeing all the food on the table and I’m pulling her food apart. My husband has asbestos hands and was like that’s even hot for me! I had to swap plates and wait to cool down. Whilst our food was delicious I just felt that it was very stressful, they had a big order of tables coming in and it felt like we had to hurry and the experience isn’t what I wanted! A real let down of an evening when a tired mumma just wants a break. We don’t have funds to go out much and we paid over £50 which is a big deal for us so we want a nice experience because we don’t get to do it much! Bit more thought needs to go into being a bit more child friendly!

We cannot rate this highly enough. We arrived by canoe too late for the restaurant and with a storm approaching. Being new to canoeing it took us ages to get the boats safely moored. The lady in charge offered to make us coffee and cheesecake even though it was just out of opening hours, kindness personified. Thanks so much

Good to see this place open again after the winter break and the refurbishment. New seating, tables and an extension make a big difference. Lovely surroundings right on the Wye and a fine beer and food selection. Just had the Butcher's sausage sandwich with a coffee, and both were spot on. Give it a try when you're passing.

Loved the food, had some delicious food,staff was so polite and kind, definitely recommend, can't wait to come back :) 👍🏼

Very friendly and helpful staff. The have a dedicated Gluten Free menu. Good selection of local ciders.

Stayed at the camp site (really great site, good shower facilities, walks from the site, nice pitches, dog friendly). Had a few meals at the Riverside, friendly service, big portions, good price. Lovey location right next to the river. Will be back to camp and eat here again

staff lovely and friendly and the food is very good and reasonably price. you can sit inside or outside by the river and a nice little beer garden around the back.

Staying at the adjacent campsite, popped in on the off chance of getting a table, we were offered a table outside as they were fully booked. Service was excellent as was the food. Recommended 👌

Lovely setting for a camp site with a great restaurant and bar.

Absolutely fantastic as always especially our recent visit August Bank Holiday as they struggled being short staff due to self isolation the burger evening was great well done to Helen and the team from Scott karen and reece

Enjoyable friendly and very clean staff excellent

We stopped for dinner and breakfast whilst on a canoe tour. The cafe team were battling pingdemic staff shortage but exceptionally friendly and attentive. Food was great and prompt. Highly recommended, great work team!

After a really busy day on the river we needed a good feed. We were able to book our table in advance and also choose from the menu at the same time. Nothing seemed to much trouble. Really good food so all in all a great experience.

We stayed at Lucksall campsite this Bank Holiday weekend and utilised the Riverside Cafe each day for food and drinks. The service was fantastic, I understand they were at a decreased staffing level due to covid, and yet you would never have known. We were served quickly and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

Wow what an amazing find, just had probably the best fish and chips in a long long time. Amazing venue with wonderful friendly staff. Even the drinks are reasonably priced. A new favourite and why bother with the bbq when this is on your doorstep!

We stopped by without a booking and they were able to accommodate us outside - it was nice sitting beside the river. The food was tasty and not too expensive and there was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Absolutely Brilliant service. Popped in on the off chance for a spot of Dinner with the dog. Sat in the marque on the decking having a gorgeous meal and the even fed the dog for free with a bowl of sausages. Highly recommend.

We booked in for lunch and a break on our day-long canoe trip on the Wye from Hereford to Hoarwithy...four dads and teenage lads. Despite being quite busy and under recently relaxed but cautious Covid conditions we could not fault the food or the service. The staff were not phased by requests to leave this-and-that our of the burgers or by us asking to pay in pairs on one order. All handled efficiently and the food arrived quickly too. The steak burgers were moist and flavoursome, the skinny fries less skinny than some....much better and tasted lovely. Our other orders were all fresh and on the ball. A great spot whether you are canoeing the river or not.

Just had a pint last thing st night but it was really enjoyable watching the sun go down.

There's a good chance you'll drive past this pub the first time then once you've turned back around, the thought will cross your mind that you've gone wrong again as you come face to face with an automatic barrier... Well, that's how it is here. We stopped in front of said barrier whilst three similarly uniformed gents stared at us. Upon enquiry it turns out that they will lift the barrier if you're going to the pub or indeed the sizeable caravan and camping park that lies the other side. So the pub or bar or cafe-style establishment is part of the caravan park, but don't let that put you off (if that does put you off) as it is a nice little stop off right next to the river with a few outside wooden tables or alternatively some of those lightweight aluminium chairs and tables on the patio. The garden has some steep steps that lead down to a small concrete bank and a small jetty on the picturesque river. Indeed, whilst we were here, there were a few canoeists that had returned from their adventures, hauling their kit up the steps and through the garden to an adjacent plot The toilets at the time, involved the use of the toilet block over the road and hidden behind a hedge so you may need to ask for directions and I'd have to say though, it's more of a summer pub as the interior, pleasant enough as it is, contains more of those aluminium tables and chairs with a tiled floor giving it that all-inclusive Tenerife hotel feel to it. Top marks to the staff though, very friendly, chatty and accommodating, in fact we had a different member of staff producing each of our drinks. Reasonable drinks prices but didn't try the food merely because of the time of day. So if you're looking for a riverside pub in this area, this is a decent spot, albeit it has little in the way of competition.

Nice setting by the River Wye and a good selection of food.

lovely spot on the banks of the river

Lovely food and wonderful staff, thanks to Sophie, Anna and Aaron. Had a wonderful evening Anna had a wicked sense of humour putting up with my sister and her requirements. Going back tonight. Hope for the same.

Nice meal served by pleasant staff team. Simple interior and good terrace area

A little gem of a place. V pretty by the river. Perfect. Great menu also

We stopped here on our Kayak trip after an intense downfall of rain. The staff were really friendly and helpful and let us sit inside with our gear on. The coffee and food were great, lovely spot and view of the river. Would recommend.

Fantastic food and service,highly recommended 👌

Lovely riverside establishment on the banks of the River Wye. Reasonably priced, good food and very friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely go again when we camp there in September.

Very nice place very clean and tidy nice food 👍

Ate here with a friend. Lovely day so sat outside overlooking the river Wye. I had a tuna ciabatta with homemade crisps. It was very nice. My friend ate the shrimp. It was tasty, if a little over cooked. Great portion of chips. Coffee reasonable. A nice place to catch up. Good to see some homemade cakes

I had the today’s special pizza of Smoky Chorizo, wild mushrooms, spinach band buffalo mozzarella artisan pizza and it has be the pizza I have ever experienced. Many thanks to the Chef, Helen and the team

Absolutely fantastic little place. Wasn't expecting much for a restaurant in a caravan park but they have knocked it out the...well out the park with this one! Really nice scenery right on the river. Food was amazing. Had the tequila and lime chicken burger with dirty fries (baconaise, mozzarella and bacon) The mrs had a normal steak burger with millionaire fires (mozzarella and truffle oil) . Portion sizes are great. Well worth the money. Food quality is fantastic, staff are very friendly and they allow dogs too which is also a nice touch. If I'm in the area again, definitely coming back

Lovely location right beside the river. Good food and Butty Bach beer on draught

The most fantastic food and amazing array of drink 👍

The bar is well stocked with local ciders and beers and it was a pleasure to try a few different bottles. The breakfast is cooked well and there is plenty of it...we ate two evening meals which were both cooked very well and were tasty.

Come away in the motorhome so here for a few nights. We nipped in at 1730 to see if we could have food, luckily they managed to fit us in,(booking recommended. The food and service was excellent brilliant menu and when the food arrives, you best be hungry. The lady who looked after us was brilliant, couldn't do enough for us and made the night. Covid measures are in place so you feel safe, brilliant place x

We had a meal on the Saturday evening which was lovely, so fresh and tasty. Excellent service from the staff and very safe Covid 19 wise, you could not ask for better safety measures. On Sunday we decided to try the lunch we were absolutely amazed by the quality and value of the lunch. All fresh vegetables and more than enough to satisfy our hunger. We cannot rate this venue enough, fresh, clean and lovely staff What more could you ask for??

Loved it exceptionally kept clean and tidy and excellent food at reasonable prices

Nice, relaxing place. Good, friendly service, delicious food and good coffee. 🙂

Finally managed to get back to our favourite site and venue. All up to usual very high standard and provided in accordance with current restrictions and guidelines. Glad to be back and look forward to many more visits.Thanks to everyone at Lucksall, a haven of peace and sanity in a strange world at a strange time. Brian & Andrew

We have stayed at Lucksall a couple of times in the last few weeks and used the cafe both for food and drinks. Food was delicious and a great selection of draught and bottled cider/ales on offer. The staff work very hard to ensure everyone is served and ensure Covid precautions are all in place. A great cafe, lovely ladies serving you where nothing is too much trouble. Excellent service especially as they are rushed off their feet. Thank you, we will be back!

I brought a cycling group here for lunch over the August bank holiday weekend (booked in advance). There was a good choice of food, promptly served - everyone in our group seemed to enjoy their selections. I think the vegan in our party only found one option on the menu but luckily she was happy with it. The staff were helpful and friendly, there were sensible Covid-19 precautions with socially-distanced tables inside (if pre-booked) but many of us opted to sit at the outdoor tables by the river. Highly recommended for a lunch or coffee stop. The only downside is the cycle parking: a couple of nasty "wheel-bender" racks in the corner of the visitor car park where they were vulnerable to reversing cars, hidden behind a hedge so it was difficult to keep an eye on them from your table. I'd urge Lucksall to consider investing in some decent non-damaging racks and a safer, more visible position.

Unpretentious caravan cafe with simple metal tables and chairs.Covid aware and excellent friendly ladies serving you. We had steak with the trimmings and a steak burger. Nicely cooked and very filling . I managed a dessert which was white chocolate based with ice cream. Reasonable prices. Had an offer on bottled cider which we took advantage of too.

Always great food.. really good value and they have a great selection ciders and beers

We used this bar when we stayed here, there are outdoor tables and chairs with umbrella's, there is also a number of tables inside for eating, the food was good and staff very helpful and friendly.

Food is ok, nothing special just handy if you don’t fancy cooking. Helpful staff.Arrived at 12 for coffee and cakes,All cakes listed on the board were unavailable.Disappointment that they feel the need to use disposable cutlery and packaging!This is overkill and wasteful considering only soap and water is advised to stop the spread of the virus!

Great food. Great service. Great recommendation of the Thai veggie burger!! Good choice on menu. Would definitely go back.

Very nice place to have a drink

Lovely food. Staff friendly. Great campsite. Very clean.

Anything from a pint to a steak , all well priced and very very nice , service with a smile all the way ( even in 34'c temp).

oi m8, tell ye wat best dam eatery this side of the wye

Had a nice afternoon chilling with a couple of beers and a lovely view of the river. Doesn't get any better on a sunny afternoon. Beware - it isn't a big place so when the site is busy you wont get a seatin or out.

Lovely ciders, beers Superb Sunday lunch . Staff very friendly very efficient. Spotlessly clean. Would 100%recommend.

Situated at the entrance of Lucksall Caravan Park, this Bar/Eatery provides a convenient location to chill next to the River Wye, with something to eat and drink. Great if you're staying at the caravan park. There's a good selection of beverages available, from Real Ale to Lattes. Various food options are available too, but you may need to book. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Set right on the river bank, a lovely location for this bar/ restaurant. The food is simple and all served with chips, but all well done and fairly priced.

Food was lovely. Staff were very friendly. The restaurant is small so I would suggest booking in advance. I would recommend and visit again.

Having stayed at the campsite for a long weekend, we booked in for an evening meal as a change to cooking. A totally unexpected gem, excellent food, great selection of beers and ciders and dog friendly. Staff and service was excellent very warm and friendly team. Loved it, can definitely recommend.

Nice to not have to drive for food. Everything adequate though service was very disorganised - you either got asked something twice or not at all...... steak needed to be rested longer... but all said, it was ok and wouldn’ Reject a second visit if we had stayed longer.

Stunning well kept friendly staff not to dear for drinks and wine kids got way too much ice cream 3 out of 10 kids we saw, the ice cream fell off the cone, but the staff replaced in a tub, then they still could not Finnish the so in the bin the ice cream went lol. The food that came out looked very good and all we spoken too said it was very good

This restaurant is based on a camping site but well worth a visit even if you are not staying there. Lots of choice with wide ranging menu and wonderful selection of beers and ciders. Very reasonably priced and wonderful staff

Staying at the adjacent caravan site, having a lunch here was a highlight. Good food, well priced and freshly prepared and seating on the banks of the picturesque river Wye and surrounding countryside.We had sandwiches which had lots of filling, although the bread was slightly dry, nice dressing of salad, coldslaw and some tortilla chips. I had ham and cheese, both very good quality and tasty products, Hubby had cheese and onion and again these were very good. Service was nice and friendly.Difficult to say more as we will be returning!

Food was awesome. Good selection, good service and tasty food 😋 An ideal eatery if you haven’t brought you’re camping tools. Bacon sarnies were excellent too!

Had a full English while staying on the site. It was good value for £6.95, well cooked and very tasty, would recommend.

The staff were great with the children, being very patient listening to them give the order for our group. Good 99s and drinks. Thank you.

Very good food and very reasonable prices. Really good local produce. Great selection of local beers and ciders.

Had a lovely lunch with friends,found site by using google,never knew it was there.overlooking the River Wye.

Great menu and wide range of local beers and ciders. Lovely beer garden overlooking the river. Dog friendly.

Lovely cafe situated on camp site. Only had drinks but lovely spot next to the river. We were able to relax whilst our son paddled

The food,drink and service at this bar/cafe are very good and reasonably priced ( except £1,70 for a pot of tea that is one cupful! ) It is a great asset for the campsite. I would have given it 5 marks but for the fact it advertised breakfast is until 11.30am on a Sunday but was told on trying to place an order at 10.50am that they had stopped doing breakfasts to prepare for Sunday lunch! Also states closing time of 10pm but went on the Sunday at 9pm to find it had closed early! Shame,as it was otherwise very good.

We were staying in the caravan so we went here for drinks and food. Wifi was okay and free, nice selection of local beers and ciders. Food was served fresh and desserts were great too Staff were very helpful and couldn't seem to do enough for you. One tip its a good idea to book in advance for an evening meal.

We visited during our stay with our Motorhome, a lovely place and the staff were friendly. On asking about gluten free food the young lady was knowledgeable and helpful, more so than many other establishments. We had an evening meal and it was super. A great addition to the site.

It's great to have somewhere like this on site especially as you can take dogs in with you. There is a good variety of food and a specials board and is extremely well cooked. The staff are very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. There is a good choice of local beers and ciders as well as the usual spirits

We had pre booked a table and it was ready on our arrival. Good choice of food available covering all choices. Everyone enjoyed the meal, which was reasonable.

This eatery was so welcoming and the staff were really helpful with a not too friendly dog. The food was quick and well prepared and there was plenty of it. The local beers and ciders promoted so much about how the site supports local artisan products.

We stayed for 5 days at Lucksall Caravan Park and ate in our caravan until the last night when we decided to eat at the on-site restaurant. We didn't expect too much but they definitely exceeded our expectations! The menu was really extensive, but when my husband asked for a veggie option he'd spotted on the outside menu the day before but wasn't there when we went they were only too happy to make it for him anyway. The staff were so friendly and helpful- nothing seemed too much trouble and they treated us like we were regulars. The atmosphere was also very nice, with other holiday makers and their dogs enjoying some dinner, with lovely views out over the river. It's not the most high-end restaurant you'll find in the area, but it's a real gem and we only wish we'd eaten there more often during our stay.

Stopped by for a few drinks and sat by the river. Pleasant bar / restaurant which was well stocked with a variety of local beers and wines.

Just had a lovely evening meal at the cafe. The menu provided a variety of food with a good selection of specials for main courses and desserts.
